Wow! Megatrons got a nice set of headlights there! lmao. Great artwork though.

nah. that thing just don't look good at all. gonna have to pass.

I like the art, but the head on that figure is god aweful.

 

Easy pass

That head sculpt IS pretty horrific, it's way too elongated as if his heads been crushed in a vice. The whole 'samurai' look just makes me think Thunderzord from the old Power Rangers (and Shinkenger for Sentai fans)... all in all this figure fails for me on all fronts.

 

I think I'll give this a wide berth.

Im gonna get the silver version so ill probably pass on this repaint.

Not that I'd want to on a $50 deluxe, but what would be a good head swap to make this Bludgeon.

I'm happy with my blue colored Megatron. The head-sculpt is a bit different, but one gets used to it. I like the swords that come with Megatron. His little skirt thingy may say "samurai", but his swords say, "swashbuckling pirate."
